| 81' | Keith Woods has been arguing blue that the England try wasn't grounded with the English pundits, however with the footage slowed down and magnified his verdict is: "yes it was". But along with Guscott and Davis the general feeling is that Ireland won on the back of a fantastic defence and a precision that allowed them to score three times from only three clear opportunities. England probably did put in a better performance but, yet again, too much effort did not lead to gains or breaks. Ireland are on for the triple crown and England remain their normal, frustrating selves. That's it from me, Jamie Allaway, we have a break next week but join us on Scrum.com in a fortnight for round 4 of the 6 Nations. |
